Got my blood boiling watching it

I have a pet peeve about people being wrongly blamed for stuff they didn't do. A couple of my beliefs that were reinforced by that documentary:

1) College is fantasy land. College kids believe the most bizarre things, their professors even more so. College kids held a candlelight vigil for Joe Paterno when the child abuse evidence surfaced. They routinely lionize monsters.

I'm glad I kept my nose stuck in an engineering textbook for my 4 years.

2) The public at large hates defense attorneys and loves people who promise to get "tough on crime". I'm the opposite. I'd rather have a thousand Johnny Cochrane's on the loose than a single Mike Nifong.
